CALGARY, July 3, 2015 /CNW/ - Luxurious design
balancing the warmth of nature with contemporary finishes. Inviting
spaces to dine and unwind, grab and go, meet and greet, sleep or
just put your feet up after a long day, whether business or
pleasure.
Following an eight-month, multi-million dollar renovation,
Marriott Hotels unveiled the fresh, new Calgary Marriott Downtown
Hotel on June 25th with a
special event for top clients, partners and special guests.
'We have created a jewel in the heart of Calgary,' says hotel general manager,
Joseph Clohessy. 'We've combined
high-end design with advanced technology, superb dining and the
comfort and amenities guests expect when sleeping away from home.
Once they arrive, they may not want to leave!'
The Highlights
Let's start with the most important
part of any hotel – the bedrooms. The luxury Calgary hotel features a dramatic mural in
every room that reflects the magnificence of the Alberta landscape, while crisp white, warm
chocolate brown and soothing dove grey all swirl together to create
a contemporary backdrop for different living zones. Each guest room
includes a flat-screen smart television, flexible work/dine area,
plush bedding with custom duvet and bathroom that features a sleek
glass-walled, walk-in shower, upscale THANN amenities and chic
sliding barn doors.
Other hotel amenities include a fitness centre with
state-of-the-art equipment, indoor pool, concierge service, laundry
service and valet parking. The on-site Starbucks allows guests to
jumpstart their mornings. And 11,000 square feet of modern and
dynamic meeting space provides ample opportunities for businesses
or organizations to meet, present and celebrate.
Exclusive M Club Lounge
Whether travelling for
business or pleasure, guests have access to the first-ever M Club
Lounge in Canada. An exclusive
space located in the heart of the hotel, the M Club Lounge offers
an elite space to work, connect and relax for Marriott Rewards®
Gold and Platinum Elite members as well as guests who choose to add
M Club Lounge access to their reservation.
Open 24/7, the M Club offers complete connectivity and advanced
technology to meet guests' business needs. This includes expanded
high speed Wi-Fi using the highest tier of internet services
available, as well as Wi-Fi printing, convenient power supplies
near each seating group, four TVs including one with laptop
connection, and other business services such as computers, phone,
fax, scanner and copier.
A range of additional services also ensures M Club Lounge guests
are well supported while staying connected. Some of these include
complimentary breakfast, evening hot/cold hors d'oeuvres, a
hydration station feature still and sparkling water and dedicated
staff including a Hostess and a Bartender to serve elite guests
from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m.
ONE18 EMPIRE
Located within the hotel, on the site of
the historic Empire Hotel at 118 Atlantic Avenue, ONE18 EMPIRE is a
swanky spot that offers diners a delicious experience with great
food, fine whiskey and good times.
The locally-inspired menu features sharable plates allowing
guests to savour more great food while hearing some of the tall
tales of the old west…like the one about the Sundance Kid, who once
operated a saloon at the old Grand Central Hotel in Calgary during prohibition.
And for a real taste of the west, connoisseurs and amateurs
alike can choose from an expansive selection of whiskeys,
handcrafted cocktails and a great assortment of wines and craft
beers. If you're new to the world of whiskey and want to learn, the
McTavish Room is home to tastings and education sessions.
Clohessy sums it up, saying, 'With our unparalleled
accommodations and amenities, whatever your reason for travelling,
the beautifully revamped Calgary Marriott Downtown will be the only
place you'll want to stay.'
